Continuing Care Retirement Communities

This type of long-term care provides its residents with a tiered approach to long-term care. Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) include independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing home facilities, all within the same community. The idea is to start with independent living, and gradually move up the tiers as daily living becomes more difficult. This way, it is possible to live in the same community for the rest of your life.
